The armed right-wing lockdown protestors blocked an ambulance. And a right-wing governor threw a tantrum that blocked ambulances.



Not sure why you're being downvoted. There is documented evidence of this:

> "To see this - traffic blocking the main intersection of a level 1 trauma centre, blocking the entrance and exit to our hospital. Blocking patients from receiving care that they need, makes me angry. It hurts. It hurts a lot," said one healthcare worker on Facebook.

> WLNS reports another posting: "You are currently blocking ambulances, physicians and caregivers from making it to work to care for the sick and relieve the exhausted workers.

Quotes a local news story: https://www.wlns.com/news/health/coronavirus/capitol-protest...


That first story is repeating a (false) rumor. Even the second story you posted directly contradicts it.

> Sparrow spokesperson John Foren said there are no access problems and ambulances can “get in and out. There’s no problem.”
